Here's a quick follow-up to my report from last week about an unusual $15,000 contribution from Camas investment manager David Nierenberg to the electrical worker's local in Portland.

The same day, Local 48 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers transferred $30,000 from its main political fund to a separate political action committee in Washington state. That entity, PAC 48 of Washington, has now given $2,500 to Vancouver Mayor Royce Pollard, who is in a tough reelection race against City Councilman Tim Leavitt, according to new information on the disclosure database maintained by Washington's Public Disclosure Commission.
